According to the Artist http://xicogonzalez.com/casa/ :
"I create art to empower and to provide a voice for my community. In addition, art is how I express my inner thoughts, the ideologies that I have embraced, the solidarity that I have with communities around the world, and most of all, through the arts I express who I am as a person: an individual that believes and works for justice and equality."
